Eat a lot of webs going out in the woods hunting before daylight in the spring and fall.

This time of the year when we walk in the timber I find an 4 foot long walking stick and wave it in front of me to clear the trail of cobwebs. I just hate it when those things hit my face and I look up to see a spider dangling from my sun visor.

Today while harvesting the dead tree I found a small yellow spider with a v pattern of dark spots on it's thorax. Just looked it up.

It was a banded crab spider. Smaller than a dime and feisty.

When I bought this property I had to clear a lane to the back about 1200ft x 30ft, 3 times wider where the house is, out of about 10 acres of dense cedar, spruce, poplar and various heavy undergrowth. What I quickly discovered is that there are LOTS of spiders in the woods. All different sizes, shapes, and colors. They are literally everywhere. And they give me the willies, but I try not to kill anything unnecessarily so we had a detante thing going.

I do not like spiders I am not want a killer by nature but spiders yes they die favorite hit them with stiff aqua net hair spray have a can just for them ... no difference the color but that one looked pretty cool I admit

Hair spray is good on wasps too -the aerosols come out so cold it freezes them. Also makes a really ughly stain on ceilings.

Big weather change here in NE TX overnight. rainy and cloudy yesterday near 80. this morning, still gray and damp but 59 degrees and quite cool. NO A/C needed today for sure. Sitting here with a pan of maple & brown sugar oatmeal for breakfast and a hot mug o' tea. Back to high 80s daytime and ~70 night by early next week.
